TORONTO -- A couple from Louisiana had their romantic trip to a Tanzania resort end in tragedy after the man died while proposing to the woman while underwater, according to local reports.

Kenesha Antoine posted a memorial to her partner Steven Weber that included photos and videos of the proposal on Facebook.

In the video, Weber can be seen swimming up to the viewing window of a submerged room that allows guests to look into the ocean. He then holds up a note proposing to Antoine and pulls out a ring before swimming out of frame.


The note read: “I can’t hold my breath long enough to tell you everything I love about you. But…everything I love about you, I love more every day! Will you please be my wife? Marry me???”

Antoine wrote in her memorial post that since Weber “never emerged from those depths,” he “never got to hear my answer, ‘Yes! Yes! A million times, yes, I will marry you!!’”

“We never got to embrace and celebrate the beginning of the rest of our lives together, as the best day of our lives turned into the worst, in the cruelest twist of fate imaginable,” she wrote.

The U.S. Department of State is quoted in local reports on Friday confirming that a U.S. tourist had died in Tanzania, but did not offer details.

How the fuck did he drown if the Windows aren't the far underwater?

The only thing I can think of is that the overhang fucked him up and he got confused, disoriented, and panicked. I don't know much about diving, but diving with something overhead requires one of the higher level certs as far as I know because of how dangerous it is, especially for new or inexperienced divers.

Maybe he thought he could hold his breath for longer? Looks like the type of guy who might have fucked up their lungs by vaping constantly.

Edit: vape not ape

I mean even so, it would take all of like 30 seconds surface to surface at a way maximum to pull of this stunt. As I kid I'd wait at the deep end of a pool until I had to breathe and I'd still make it to the surface. It takes what, two or three seconds? That's the same depth as this. Maybe if he had asthma or something, but then why I are you trying this in the first place?

Ok, so he stayed underwater too long, swam up into the overhang, panicked, and drowned. But, even from that video it doesn't look like he was short of air or anything as he swam up. It was leisurely as hell like you'd expect.

Soros wanted to see if he strong enough control over his cultists to order them to commit suicide shortly after a successful proposal. He does indeed.
 
He should have done it the cliche way and did a sunset proposal on the beach. Then again, looking at the poorly rendered tattoos, it seemed like he was on his way to a Darwin Award regardless.
 
“Antoine said that she believed Weber is now spreading love and joy throughout the universe. She added, “And knowing him, always quick with an off-color joke, he’s probably entertaining someone with a story about how he royally screwed up that proposal and died while being extra.”

Heh, it's good to know that Steven is handling all of this like a champ.

i was looking at that overhanging dock as well, maybe he managed to swim into the dock at a decent speed? Could have been a combination of being excited and running out of air which caused him to rush back to the surface, but maybe he was still looking down at the window as he did? Could have hit his head hard enough to at least stun and disorient himself, if not getting knocked out. can take surprisingly little to do that, depending on how you hit your head

That's the thing that gets me. This place is not fucking cheap. Either he was a retard and got his act together after getting the tattoos, or someone else was paying for this trip. It's $5k just for three nights in that place and there is a minimum booking of three nights. His fb has various colleges it looks like he never graduated from and a bunch of jobs including 2 addiction recovery centers he was likely a patient of including working/volunteering at.

The limited pictures I can see without having an fb make him look like a normal dude, but then the addiction centers + short term employment + failed education paint a different story.

Weird all around.
 
The happiest moment in her life get's cruelly twisted into the saddest, most horrifying time of her life, in just a span of a few minutes.

Well, now I'm sad.
 
I wonder if she'll change the name of her notary business from "The Bluest Ink" to something a little less reminding.
